What is Digital Image Processing?

Definition

Two-dimensional function, f(x, y)
Where x and y are spatial coordinates.
The amplitude of f at any pair of coordinates (x, y) is called the intensity.

The digital image

If the coordinates and the intensity are discrete quantities the image turns into a digital image.

What is Digital Image Processing?

Definition

A digital image is composed by a finite number of elements called PIXEL.

Images and vision

The paradigm surrounding the conceptualization of light and perception has undergone significant evolution.
Initially, the prevailing understanding within humanity posited that visual stimuli emanated from the eye itself.
However, contemporary knowledge has elucidated that light originates from external sources, undergoes reflection from objects within the environment, and is subsequently captured by the eye.

Important

We also understand that light is a type of electromagnetic radiation, and its wavelength falls within a range from 400 nanometers to 700 nanometers.

Important

The most common way light is made is by something getting really hot. This makes energy that comes out as light.
Some important term are:
- Absortion: It is the fraction of light which a body absorbs depending on the wavelength.
- Reflectance: It is the fraction of the incoming light which a body reflects. It’s a number between 0 to 1 and also depends on wavelength.
- Luminance: It is the fraction of the incoming light which a surface reflects. It’s a function of absortion and reflectance, and because of that luminance depends on wavelength.

Images and vision

The eye

Our eye has two types of cells. Cones and Rods.
Cones are the most sensitive cells but above all these are color sensitive.
Rods responds only two intensity and they used on night, mostly.
Humans, like most primates, are trichomats. This means that humans have three types of cones (Long, Medium and shorts).
- 65% of longs (Sense red)
- 33% of mediums (Sense green)
- 2% of shortsv(Sense blue)

Images and vision

The artificial eye

The currents from each sensor are function of the luminance and the spectral response filter.
